Employing acute attention to detail, Funkst?rung excavate electronica's
prettiest of melodies and merge these with flickering, debilitated beats to
create some of the early twenty -first century's most evocative and resonant
music. The Munich-based duo assemble sonic glitches, crackles of static and
curt electronic clicks with the painstaking precision of the fetishist to
create oft-brutal, oft-lovely recordings: tellingly, they derive their name
from the German for "radio interference" and their logo is an abstracted
version of Deutsche Telekom's warning sign for the phenomenon. Michael
Fakesch (b. 8 March 1975, Rosenheim, Germany) and Chris de Luca (b. 11 May
1974, Kolbermoor, Germany) are probably best known for their radical
redesign of Bj?rk's "All Is Full Of Love' which re-invigorated the final
track of 1997's Homogenic with glacial rhythms and a scattering of
astringent beats. Their own recordings for the Chocolate Industries, Fat
Cat, Skam, Compost and their own Musik Aus Strom record labels are equally
compelling. The duo's first album length release, 1999"s Additional
Productions, was an archive compilation of their best
remixes/re-interpretations that demonstrated the Fakesch/de Luca aesthetic
as applied to other people's music (Bj?rk, Finitribe). With reconstructions
of tracks by East Flatbush Project and the Wu-Tang Clan, Funkst?rung notably
traced the common threads shared between electronica and hip-hop. The
release also showcased the duo's new-found desire to experiment with the
human voice: words are warped, accelerated, slowed-down and manipulated
against rapid, staccato beats. Fakesch also released the solo Marion at the
close of 1999. Compiling new and previously released tracks, Marion is less
overtly melodic than Funkst?rung's collaborative recordings, foregrounding
Fakesch's hyper-detailed rhythms. The duo's first collection of new tracks
was released the following April.
